Serial (RS-232) Controls and Operation
114 AX500 Motor Controller User’s Manual Version 1.9b. June 1, 2007
These parameters are stored in the controller’s Flash memory and are not intended to be
changed at runtime.
Important Notice
The above parameters are stored in the MCU’s configuration flash. Their storage is perma-
nent even after the controller is powered off. However, because of the finite number of
times flash memories can be reprogrammed (approx. 1000 times), these parameters are
not meant to be changed regularly, or on-the-fly.
All parameters in Flash (except for the Amps calibration) are reset to their default
values every time new firmware is loaded into the controller.
